The Afghan landrace behind every modern indica
The city of Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan gave its name to one of the most influential landraces in the world. Like its Afghani cousin from earlier in this series, Mazar I Sharif is a mountain line whose genetics run through virtually every modern indica, and the video above tells the story of the city, the strain, and the legacy.

One region, several foundations
The Hindu Kush region did not produce a single founding line; it produced several, and Mazar I Sharif stands beside Afghani as one of them. Lines like these are the genetic backbone behind so much of what is grown today, which is exactly why their original character is worth protecting in living form.
That protection is the entire idea behind CloneBuzzz Genetics. Verified living clones carry a landrace's true character intact from grower to grower, so that the foundations themselves survive rather than being gradually overwritten. When the originals are kept alive, everything built on them stays honest.
